Ever-Expanding Universe

YA
Ever-Expanding Universe series.
In the trilogy's conclusion, Elvie searches for her kidnapped infant daughter, Olivia. There's also the secondary goal of saving the world: Elvie and her friends fight some epic battles against aliens on Earth, aboard spaceships, and on Mars. The action is nonstop--and sometimes hard to follow--but as in the book's predecessors, Elvie's snark keeps her adventures entertaining.

Ever-Expanding Universe series.
In the second installment, human teen Elvie Nara, who was pregnant in Mothership, gives birth to a female alien of a previously all-male race. The ensuing uproar leads Elvie and her gang to a safe house in Antarctica. Ever sassy and resourceful heroine Elvie's comedic narration distracts from the thin characterization in this wacky, amusing yarn packed with twists and turns.

Not only does Elvie Nara find herself pregnant with an alien baby, but she is also on an orbiting cruise ship filled with other pregnant teenagers hurtling toward the Earth. Elvie's voice is distinctively sixteen, but her colloquialisms occasionally bog down the narrative. Surprising twists are sprinkled throughout the story, making for an entertaining read overall.
